Why do people continue to live in volcanically active areas? *

5 points

They've always lived there - moving away would mean leaving friends and family.

If you are born in these areas you are not allowed to move away

You get paid money to live in these areas

Some people think that severe eruptions won't happen again in the area, so it's safe to live there.

The soil around volcanoes is fertile because it's full of minerals from volcanic ash and lava. This makes it good for growing crops, which attracts farmers.

Volcanoes are tourist attractions which means that many people come to visit and therefore spend money in the local economy.

Volcanoes are a source of geothermal energy, which can be used to generate electricity. Additionally, this creates jobs for local people.

They're employed in the area - people would have to find new jobs.

They're confident of support from the government after an earthquake, e.g. to help rebuild houses.

Buildings can't be designed to withstand lava flows or pyroclastic flows but they can be strengthened.

Future developments, e.g. new shopping centres, can be planned to avoid the areas most at risk from earthquakes.

Governments and other organisations can teach people about what to do if there's an eruption, e.g. evacuate.

Governments and organisations can donate money, goods or services, e.g. food, water and rescuers.

Which of the following statements about predicting an earthquake is correct? *

3 points

You can predict when an earthquake will occur

You can predict roughly where an earthquake may occur

Prediction is always effective, which means it is sustainable

Strange animal behaviour can suggest there might be an earthquake soon

Lots of small tremors suggest there might be an earthquake soon

Required

Which of the following statements about predicting an eruption is correct? *

Specialist equipment is needed which makes it expensive but it can save many lives.

Escaping gases suggest there could be an eruption soon.

It is possible to predict roughly when an eruption will occur.

You can not predict where a eruption will happen.

Changes in the shape of a volcano suggest there could be an eruption soon.

Tiny earthquakes (measured using a seismometer) suggest there could be an eruption soon.

usually inexpensive but can be less sustainable than other strategies as in the long-term they cost more money and resources than rebuilding.
